Make it 50 feet tall, and in the SW corner of the stadium... when the sun starts to set, his shadow will cover the visitors sideline. :D

On he other hand...

I don't know what the long-term plan is for the south end zone, but what if the statue was out that way in a prominent place where it could be seen by everyone in the stadium, including the players on the field?

Analogies that spring to mind: The flag poles in play at old Tiger Stadium and at Yankee Stadium.

THe last time this was brought up a few weeks ago I mentioned putting it near where the team comes out on to the field. That way Coach would always be on our sidelines.... then TG chimed in with some reflecting pool hippy nonsense.

It's not nonsense. It's what the dog told me to do.
